Pat and Virgil were married in Redfield on October 3, 1954. This union was blessed with three children: Gary, Gaye and Greg. Virgil worked as a Des Moines Fireman for 10 years and then purchased “The Shady Oakes” Restaurant and bar in Webster City. After several years Virgil moved his family to Earlham in 1973 and Virgil worked at Montgomery Ward in Des Moines as a salesman in the automotive department, until his retirement in 1994. Virgil continued to keep busy working at various part-time jobs. He was an Earlham Volunteer fireman, an Iowa Cubs fan, loved to watch sports on television, enjoyed driving around town and visiting with people at the coffee shop.

I’M FREE
Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard His call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I’ve found my peace at the close of the day.
If parting has left a void.
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with time of sorrow.
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full. I’ve savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up you hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.
